[Eve] Cheap fun lowsec gatecamp sniping

BrokenArrows

Right i feel like just pissing people off in the next few days.

idea:

get a really cheap sniping ship with 150km+ range and just piss people off as they come and go through the gate. (and hopefully catch some idiots who are not paying attention)

so basically im looking for your ideas on a cheap sniping setup that will keep me out of range of the gate guns ie +150km

any caldari BS or below
any galante BC or below

get your thinking caps on people.

As far as I know gate guns fire past 150km now.

when did this happen.

I think this is lies. Think the gate guns give you one volley when youre out past 150 before they "remember" theyre not supposed to shoot you that far out.

Give it a go on the test server first anyhow.

Its going to be tricky to do solo tbh, because sitting out 200 KM from a gate youll very quickly be tracked down by cloaky types getting warp ins. If you keep moving youll screw youre own tracking and move out of your optimal eventually. If you use a cloak youll **** up your locking time. All round tricky.

This could be true. I haven't been to low sec myself in a while. All I know is a corpie of mine had a sniper spot over 150km off a gate in low sec that he used fine before the last patch, but after the patch he warpped there in a stealth bomber and got pwn'd by gate guns.

I was hit at 170+ once for a few seconds before they ****ers cycled. I wasnt tanked so I didnt stick about to test it properly, but they deffo can hit to +150.

Surely once he's outside the range of the guns it only takes one interceptor to burn out to him and get a point?

Just use a broadsword or onyx with one of those huge ****in tanks.. and just tank the sentries

Well yeah. He could also warp off, fit a neut or pop them. Solo sniping will really only get you hauler kills or something else that takes ages to align with a poo poo tank. The whole thing is a bit silly and can only end badly imo.
